Some photos we took almost 2 months ago. It's been up on my draft post for a long time and I've finally decided to just leave it up here without much words. I'll be crazy busy this weekend and next week so pardon this super lazy post. I'll put out the brands for your reference. Enjoy!

What I wore: Neighborhood Japan shirt; Forever 21 white buttondown shirt; Cropped pinstripe pants made by me; Nike AF1 shoes; P91 boutique clear specs

I own way too many black shirts in different brands so I make sure my style isn't just plain old black tees. Layered my old white button down shirt underneath, pulled out the collar and rolled up the sleeves. Again, there's so much more to fashion than just fancy brands and 'trendy' staples. Being able to find your personal style can help you be different and not just try to fit in. 

Selling these clear specs online. Do message me on Instagram if you want to cop one. @evaaguspina

You already know, I'm a loyal fan of Neighborhood brand. Again, another Japanese brand that I truly adore and respect. My cap is from this brand called Мишка, a household name in NY. Derived from the russian word "bear" or "cub", they already proved their influence since it has gone big and gained a lot of followers since 2003. I'm not really a major fan of the brand but I still have mad respect for them.

Thanks for dropping by!

The first kind of sneakers I collected were Chuck Taylors and Vans. In HS, it was a smart thing to do because they were way cheaper and I was into skating and biking for a short time (until i wasnt haha). I was also into hiking in my mom's province so obviously, I needed beaters. Sneakers for me was a thing I could abuse and replace. Only 2 years back, I started collecting Nike Air Jordan shoes. I admit it, they are reallyyyy expensive. They are luxury shoes that I don't even wear when it rains! I dont play basketball with them, they look too pretty to abuse. I guess the positive side of it is that I have learned to value and clean my own shoes, in short- I became responsible in taking care of my things. I also love the fact that girls from my city don't have the same shoes as me. My Jordan collections are dead-stock and OGs. I do own a few overrated shoes like Superstars and Skate-His but they are my beaters. Wow sneaker talk, I must have been a boy in my past life. Lol. Owning my first Jordans was a game changer. I know it wouldn't be my last. It's like finding my own SOLEmate shoes... -.-

Jordan 1 Royals are surprisingly not my first Js. This was my second pair but I love it. The classic silhouette and the perfect color got me hooked. Although they get uncomfortable after wearing it for hours, its a guaranteed head turner based on experience. Its also a conversation starter. Apparently, people would call you "sneaker head" more often when you wear Jordans than any other kind of shoes. Its a fact. A piece of advice when you are confused in picking your first Jordans: go for Jordan 1s, may it be the hi's or the lows.  You can never go wrong with it.


What i wore: Forever 21 brim hat & jumpsuit; GAP denim jacket; Nike Jordan 1 shoes

Should I blog about my sneaker/ shoe collection and how I take care of it?!

After months of overusing this Fake Friends white shirt, I finally had the time to wear it on my blog! As you all know, this shirt got sold out on the brand's first launching back in June. This was one of the pieces from the first collection called "The Freshmen Collection: Chapter 1". Check out more of their stuff here. I've been lazy dressing ever since this cozy weather became rampant and here I am, wearing something totally different from my usual white, grey or black ensemble. To be honest, I'm really feeling all these pink muted tones lately. It's a fresh color palette in my wardrobe. I decided to go full out with it and created a coordinated look. As I don't own sneakers in pink – yet!– I paired it with one of my everyday beaters for the last couple of months: my all white Nike Airforce 1s. Clearly, you can never go wrong with white sneakers. There is no denying, its the easiest color you can match and investing on one good white shoes will be money well spent. I currently own 6 pairs of white sneakers. Lol, i guess i kinda exceeded my quota.


Kangol (that hat im wearing) is a legendary clothing company that was founded way back World War I. Yes, in the 1930s, and yes its been that long! This brand was well known for making awesome head wear and you all know IM ALL ABOUT THOSE FRIGGIN GORGEOUS HATS. Kangol specifically got into the street wear scene in the early 1980's when hiphop artists like Notorious B.I.G and RUN DMC, to name a few, started rocking them. Eventually, they are now a household name in the streets and even in the high fashion world for its unmatched quality. The first thing I noticed about the headwear is the unusual form of their Bermuda Casual Pile hat. It was their staple form and other brands can never pull it off. Its also made in pure wool and it came in the color black! *happy dance*

This is a really comfy and fresh look for me. The pants are in perfect length for that old school capri feels and are made of soft denim fabric. I had this pants since i was in HS! Even though my face and arms got bigger and rounder, surprisingly my pants as a teenager still fits me well. Oh, and I also got my tee two sizes bigger as I’m a big fan of oversized silhouettes (duh). You can chuck it in, or just hang it loose. Whichever mood you prefer.

What I wore: Fake Friends shirt; Kangol hat; Nike AF1 shoes; vintage capri jeans (back in HS)



Hope you guys had an awesome weekend!!!

 I always had a thing for oversized sweats/pullover, boyfriend jeans and turtlenecks just because they simply allow you to move around all day, whatever you’ve planned. And for a girl who lives in a tropical country, I have an awful lot of jackets and coverup collection. I cant help myself, I love layering so much. Guess I could say I’m more of a winter child in spite of living in a country that only knows 'too sunny for layers' and 'too rainy for shoe game' weather. Well, its getting pretty windy and rainy lately so more reason to showcase my winter collection lol. Casually layered my staple black sweaters with a touch of red and the mere fact that I can simply change my entire look by pulling off a layer or two makes it even more fun to play with.

Wore this super comfy Xlarge crew neck pullover and styled it with a separate red turtle neck because wearing this as it is was boring. Sometimes wearing clothes in the same color over and over again can get boring to some people but not when you got styles and tricks up on your sleeve. To be honest, all those branded pieces that you own is flat out boring when you have no sense of style at all. Its just like wearing the clothes straight out of a store's mannequin. There's nothing wrong with that but finding your own personal style can really take you places.

"X-Large was the first street brand to use a gorilla or monkey as a logo even before 'A Bathing Ape in Lukewarm Water'..." Ever since I laid my eyes on this brand, I knew it was something that fits my taste. Although Xlarge was founded in LA back in 1991, it was more inspired by Japanese culture and we all know Japanese brands have the best quality products. XLarge, Neighborhood, BAPE, Supreme, Yohji Yamamoto just to name a few of my faves that gained popularity in Jpn. On a side note, I believe everyone should know the brands they are wearing. Just because its an 'in' thing or its famous for now doesn't mean you have to hop in the bandwagon. Only very few people from my place actually recognized this brand and I don't mind one bit. As long as it suits my preference and personal branding, I will represent it. ;)

I look a lot like my mom here!

What I wore: XLarge pullover; Forever 21 hat; Tomboy jeans; Adidas Superstar shoes

Of course I paired it with some cozy sneakers from Adidas for a daily look. My all time favorite beaters when it starts raining. I love how all the pieces add up to this subtle, undone look to my outfit. Just the right amount of color added to make your normal pullover/sweater look different. 

All smiles when my friend decided to sell this pullover to me. Addition to my growing Xlarge collection!

Am I the only one who thinks 2016 came by so fast?! We're down to four months til 2017, dangg. Thanks for dropping by guys! Leave comments and let's keep in touch!

*Shout out to Zach for this Xlarge pullover! After convincing him that I adore this brand more than he does, he finally gave in and sold it to me haha.

Our entry for Sole Slam Manila x TSPHL "I got the most lit fit" contest and TSPHL x The Athletes Foot PH Puma Blaze of Glory Oreos giveaway. Literally chased the sun light as we started our quick shoot a little late than planned. That's the sun light interval in just 10 mins. From 6:05 - 6:15pm. (just a wild guess lol)


Trying to make the color RED a thing for me now. In my post a few years back, I stated that my favorite color was red but I would seldom wear that color as clothing. Although I would still find some red garments as a big no-no for my wardrobe but for others, like this red bomber jacket and New Era cap- its a big yes for me. A (little) pop of color wouldn't hurt nobody, right?

I am literally in-love with my new Vans Skate-Hi in Red! I've never seen anyone from here wear Skate-Hi's in this color so I got it as soon as I found my size. I own a black&white version of them but it has gone mainstream. You can actually see someone wear b&w Vans EVERYWHERE. Nothing wrong with that but you know, nothing wrong with owning a rare (colored) pair too. ;)


Wore my shirt backwards because the back design of my Stussy x Mastermind collaboration shirt was cute, too! Its such a waste if I don't get to show them. I mean, back shots are fine but having it as a front design accents my entire outfit more.

What I wore: Stussy x Mastermind collab shirt; Jeans & bomber jacket designed by me; New Era cap; Vans Sk8-Hi shoes

BAPE Cap and Hoodie | Stussy World Tour Shirt | Levis pants | Undftd x BAPE x Adidas shoes

Here are more of our entries for our favorite pair. The beau chose his UNDFTD x BAPE x Adidas Originals Superstar 80s and I chose my Air Jordan 12 Retro Taxi.

Thanks for dropping by! Hope you had a great weekend!!!!
